Hi Roland G-Agent,

What you cover in your left hand? Some gun or some new ARX board? :)

Hi!

I have a strong feeling that there won't be any news on the G itself. We will probably see at least two new ARX-boards, but apart from that I wouldn't bet any money on any more. New OS update? Hardly. Most people will probably disagree, but I don't think that enough time has passed since 1.20. I wish for an update, but I also know how slow Roland have been before...

I think that Roland will present something on the arranger side instead. Yamaha are miles ahead with the Tyros (hey, number 3 is already out there!) and I think that the G-70 needs a major facelift. Perhaps even a completely new series that will replace the E-series?

Something is telling me that the next ARX-board/s will kick ***, though!

MadaHorn:
So you don't like going to Namm? Too noisy?
The 101 and 5 traffic (which, I'll admit, is nowhere near as a pain to fly cross-country or across the world), the parking, the sore feet, the long post-NAMM reports, the $10 inedible sandwiches, the everyone screaming on cell-phones...

Don't get me wrong, I'll probably get an itch to go next year, but a few projects kept me from Anaheim this year, and it's sort of a blessing in disguise.

Rudess on an arranger keyboard??? ;-)

Seriously: we don't need a new keyboard, we need an updated G and useful ARX stuff.

The only new keyboard I would really find hot would be a new analog Jupiter 8 in the tradition of other "new old" analogues (Bob Moog, Dave Smith)...
